Avamere Communities

For nearly three decades, Suzanne Elise Assisted Living has been a trusted part of the Seaside community, offering quality care and a warm, welcoming home for local seniors. Now approaching its 30th anniversary, Suzanne Elise has a lot to be proud of — from a beautiful remodel to prestigious national awards recognizing excellence in senior living.

New Look, Same Quality Care

This summer, the assisted living community unveiled a new outdoor paint job, giving the building a vibrant, refreshed look. Inside, a modern remodel has brought new energy. With a fresh new style, the heart of Suzanne Elise remains the same: high-quality care, compassionate staff, and vibrant lifestyle that families have trusted since 1997.

That spirit of excellence has earned Suzanne Elise national recognition. The community recently received the 2025 Bronze Commitment to Quality Award from the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living, along with the 2025 Customer Experience Award from Pinnacle Quality Insight. These honors reflect a long-standing commitment to quality care and satisfaction.

Team That Cares Like Family

Suzanne Elise’s family feel stems from the team’s remarkable longevity. Many employees have been serving residents for over a decade, even as much as 20 years, building bonds that bring comfort and familiarity to daily life.

“Our Executive Director, Pam, cares immensely for our staff and our residents,” shared Ashley Gauvin, Director of Sales and Outreach. “It shines through – you really feel the warmth when you walk in the door.”

One thing is clear to the residents – the team truly cares for them and their well-being.

“I see staff several times a day, not just when I call for help,” expressed Cheryl Adams, a Suzanne Elise resident. “I feel safe and cared for.”

Together the team lives their mission: “to enhance the life of every person we serve.”

“I really believe that’s what we’re doing here,” Ashley stated. “We provide a service that’s really important, and we do it with a lot of care.”

Residents agree that the team’s dedication shines through in every interaction.

“They get me laughing at daybreak, and they start the rest of the day out right,” Cheryl shared as she started to tear up. “It makes me a little emotional thinking about it, because they care so much.”

Discover Life Enhanced

With its modern refresh, award-winning care, and the same trusted staff that have defined its legacy, Suzanne Elise continues to be a premier choice for seniors along the Oregon Coast.

“It’s so inclusive and friendly,” said Cheryl. “It is like home.”
